Teen Sentenced In Theft Of $19,000 In Firearms

A local youth who was arrested last September in connection with the theft of $19,000 worth of firearms was sentenced in Enfield Superior Court Friday to five years suspended after one year.

In an agreement with prosecutors and the court, Jeremy Brown, 17, of 43 Canal Road in Simsbury, pleaded guilty to a total of 22 counts -- 5 counts of conspiracy to commit theft of a firearm and 17 counts of theft of a firearm. Brown also pleaded guilty to two counts of tampering with a motor vehicle and two counts of fourth-degree larceny. Several other counts of burglary, larceny and related conspiracy charges were not prosecuted.

Brown also received three years' probation as part of his sentence.

Last September, Brown and Dominique Flannigan, 18, of 4 Tamarack Lane, Simsbury, were charged in connection with the March 15 theft of firearms from a Trainor Road home.
